NICK BLINKO - "THE PRIMAL SCREAMER" BOOK

LULUS:

Erudite primitivism for the armchair magician, cave dweller and stargazer alike. Black cats, anarchy, trenches and truncheons; this juxtaposition is the modus operandational palette of Nick Blinko, the principled and mastermind behind legendary dark punk outfit Rudimentary Peni. An essential band for anybody who likes black shirts, Rudimentary Peni may arguably the greatest long-standing punk band. A fanatic of storytelling, Blinko’s tales are totems that transmute darkness and void-bound mental swirlings into opulence. To say his artwork is iconic is about as blatant as it gets, but them lines and stipples are instantly recognisable and cherished by knowing minds. His journey through the decades might be described as a battle, and to these eyes: he won.

PM PRESS:

A Gothic Horror novel about severe mental distress and punk rock. The novel is written in the form of a diary kept by a psychiatrist, Dr. Rodney H. Dweller, concerning his patient, Nathaniel Snoxell, brought to him in 1979 because of several attempted suicides. Snoxell gets involved in the nascent UK anarcho-punk scene, recording EPs and playing gigs in squatted Anarchy Centers. In 1985, the good doctor himself “goes insane” and disappears.

This semi-autobiographical novel from Rudimentary Peni singer, guitarist, lyricist, and illustrator Nick Blinko, plunges into the worlds of madness, suicide, and anarchist punk. Lovecraft meets Crass in the squats and psychiatric institutions of early ‘80s England. This new edition collects Blinko”s long sought after artwork from the three previous incarnations.
